The corona between the central government and the Trinamool government of West Bengal is constantly stuck in the crisis. Earlier, complaining to the Central State Government for not properly implementing the provisions of the lockdown and now the Home Minister Amit Shah said that the West Bengal laborers trapped in different states are not getting the required support for their return home. Has written a letter to Mamta Banerjee.

 

 

Shah has said in the letter that the central government is not getting the requisite support from the Bengal government to help migrant workers reach home. He said that the center has facilitated more than 200,000 migrant laborers to reach home and workers in West Bengal are also eager to return. "The West Bengal government is not allowing trains with migrants to enter the state. This is an injustice to the migrant laborers of West Bengal. This will create further hardship for them," the letter said. The issue of migrant workers has become a new controversy between the Center and the West Bengal government amid the state's efforts to control the corona virus.

 

The Center and the state have already accused each other of reports of deaths from infection. Bengal says that while the Center is trying to politicize a public health crisis, the central government says that state officials are ignoring repeated warnings for the fight against Corona. The Center says that Bengal has failed to conduct adequate tests and identify hotspots and is struggling with confusion and mismanagement.

 

 

Significantly, the migrant laborers who were stuck in other states in the sudden lockdown, walked on foot to go to their respective homes. In the same sequence, migrant laborers from Jhargram, Murshidabad and Virbhum districts of West Bengal, who were doing business in Barauni and Patna in Bihar, had to go by road from their homes on foot. On 31 March, these migrant laborers were passing through the Jharkhand border towards the city that the district administration quarantined them all at the Quarantan Center, built at Acharya Narendra Dev Bhawan Jasidih.

 

Migrant laborers living in the quarantine center for about a month said that they are being provided food and health facilities on time. In this regard, when talking to Block Development Officer Deoghar Vivek Kishore, he said that adequate bus was arranged by the district administration to send these migrant laborers to their home in West Bengal. But the government of West Bengal did not get permission to take these migrant laborers to their house, due to which more than one hundred migrant laborers could not be sent to their home. After getting permission from the West Bengal government, everyone will be sent to their home district.
